Friday January 27th 2012 - KW poet and artist extraordinaire Janice Lee drops buy for discussion on the local slam poetry series after we read a piece by @harshawalia on Decolonising (from http://briarpatchmagazine.com/articles/view/decolonizing-together) and play Leanna Simpson's audio from the Occupy Talks: Indigenous Perspectives on the Occupy Movement.

The show starts with a Smash the State report looking into: a slightly confused report about a neo-nazi attack in Vancouver (check http://van-noii.resist.ca for a statement and more accurate report), the cost of #omnibus imprisonment bill #c10, an action against the canada-eu trade deal (CETA), John Barid's hypocrisy and more. We are also saddeneded to announce the passing of long term street warrior Ricky Lavaille, a vancouver #DTES resident.

Our G20 Report has updates from the police slaying of Junior Manon, the call for police accountability, the crackdown on another anti-police blogger, spying on librarians, and a call to "action" from the KW Spot collective (https://julianichim.wordpress.com/2012/01/21/call-and-email-the-attorney-general-demanding-political-status-and-an-end-to-political-persecution/).

Breaking Bars, Building Bridges:

Challenging the Prison System & Fostering Communities of Support

WPIRG’s SCHOOL OF PUBLIC INTEREST 2012

Friday February 10 – Sunday February 12, 2012

University of Waterloo, Waterloo ON

In spite of widespread opposition, the statement made by two provinces (Ontario and Quebec) that they will refuse to pay – and even the warnings of the state of Texas – Canada’s Bill C-10, the Conservative Omnibus Crime Bill, is poised to become law by March 16th 2012. The bill will institute sweeping changes that will produce more crime and more prisoners, just in time to fill the super-prisons scheduled for construction across the country.

Friday January 6th 2012 - We kick off the new year with fresh stories of police abuse and of stories of sorrow (4.5 million homeless in US, 18.5 million empty houses) and resistance to this ridiculous agenda of austerityincluding G20 jailings and Stop the Cuts - Toronto.

We have some discusison of Canada's withdrawl from Kyoto, India's action against monsanto and some caroling with No One Is Illegal - Vancouver.

Show Notes (from june 2010, first posted june 26th 2010):

A discussion during the KW Peoples Summit,

We will explore the revolutionary context of the ministry of Jesus by giving historical perspective, deflating a few common misconceptions and celebrating the one who overturned the tables of the moneychangers. In viewing the New Testament as world-creating, empire eroding storytelling we hope to shine a light on actions and perspectives taught by Jesus, that can be used today, to disarm the powers.

Build your skills with this holistic approach to intentional world changing.

Friday December 2nd 2011 - The Smash the State Report takes the @mediacoop's november in review, adds some comments, and focuses on anti-olympic actions and the use of western spy-tech against the freedom fighters of Syria, Bahrain, Iran and more. We also read pre-jail statement of anti-#austerity/pro-#indigenous #autonomy organiser and #anarchist Adam Lewis, and present a powerful piece on rape culture, before wrapping up with a run down of some discussion around the #occupytogether movement.

THe police operation adn the spy operation around the G20 convergence was the largest in Canadian history.

from Conspire to Resist

“They call me an enemy of the state, so I know I must be doing something right.”
-Marilyn Buck (1947-2010)

The prosecution has gone to incredible lengths to attempt to control, isolate and divide our communities. They infiltrated community organizing groups in an attempt to create fear, quash dissent and incarcerate us. The state has gone to such lengths to destroy our communities of resistance because they know we are creating change.

from Narrative Resistance - Alex Hundert's Blog - http://alexhundert.wordpress.com

Today I pled guilty to one count of counsel to commit mischief and one count of counsel to obstruct police. This guilty plea was part of a collective deal that secured the withdrawal of charges from 11 allies. My original charges were four counts of conspiracy, six counts of counsel, two counts of intimidation, and two breaches of probation.

Friday November 18th 2011 - Its not a few bad apples but a rotten orchard, today we look at police violence and actions that such behaviour creates, and we discuss the #occupy movement. We give an update on the situation in KI and note the failure of canadian legislation in protecting the environment, talk quickly about #Mumia and give a #g20 update as well as a round up of anti-austerity actions in europe.

Friday November 11th 2011 - Another remembrance day in Canada as we mark 10 years of war in Afganistan and the Invasion of Libya, just what the fuck are we supposed to be remembering? world war one - the great war - never again, world war two - the war to end all wars. then why the shit are we still killing overseas? Clearly we have learned nothing, and something more urgent, more major needs to be done to remind canada's population that war will not bring peace.

We also get into #occupy, hype some #acab, discuss the chilean uprising, and play a few fresh tracks!
